Hello from the Dark side. Africa
« on: October 06, 2016, 10:02:42 AM »
Hi All, Just a note to introduce myself. I'm from Benoni, South Africa.
Have been involved with Bikes for over 50 years, fabricating, building, riding, and wrecking.
Two years ago I stumbled into my friends workshop and saw his K100 and decided I needed one very badly.
I found my K1100 on a secondhand Bike website for $1000 US and the hard work began.
Will start a build thread.

Cheers, Sarge.

Thanks Guys,
This Bike belongs to a friend of mine. He was my inspiration for the K1100 I bought.

We have Dicktator Engine Management systems on the Bikes and fuel metering is done with a throttle position sensor. On my K1100 I'm only using the Dicktator for timing.

Cheers,
Kevin.
